Hello All
In a moment of weakness (even senility), I purchased a Fox Hawk 60 and converted it to control line use. It tipped the scales at 14 oz less silencer. Should have given up at that point! I flew it a few times and found that it ran very hot. I was told that Duke sent them out very tight for some unknown reason. I partially dismantled it to do a hemi head mod and hone out the bore a little. Did that and then decided it wasn't a very good control line engine (I did mention senility!) It was put away and forgotten.
Much later I was doing some anodising and thought that I would try to smarten up the Fox (Head had overheated and ruined the anodising). I then tried to remove the prop driver to get that anodised so everything matched up................. The prop driver has a tapered skirt which covers the front bearing housing. Obviously I have no idea what lies behind the skirt. I can't use a puller on the propdriver as it will ruin the skirt!
So how do I remove the prop driver, any ideas? I admit to being baffled, don't want to use a couple of blocks of wood and a vice in case there is something odd lurking underneath the skirt! It will finish up as a showcase engine, it just looks rather good with its shiny case and reddish anodising, it doesn't look as though it is much of a stunt engine!
Regards,
Andrew.
